It will always warm my heart when Chris asks permission to ask if he can talk to the Mom about their medical info. It's such a personal thing - it's a lovely show of respect to ask Laynie if it's okay.

I love that Chris included so much of him asking how to sign things! I’ve taken ASL classes and still the toughest part when I meet a deaf person in everyday life is feeling nervous to ask how to sign specific words or phrases. It’s a good reminder that we all crave communication and connection and there’s nothing embarrassing about asking for help!

I love how Chris got down to Laynie's level and really tried communicating with her in ASL. I really appreciate that with every child he meets, he communicates with them at their pace and using their methods. I wish there was more exposure to sign language in schools, and kids could just learn it as a required language, like French, Spanish, German, Italian, etc. My only exposure to ASL was communicating with a deaf girl I made friends with at a summer camp. Kids learn languages surprisingly fast, and I was surprised how rapidly I was able to communicate with her. I still actively learn ASL because of that girl I met at summer camp, and I hope this video inspires other kids to do the same. Laynie you are amazing!

Laynie's reaction to the "What's the best thing about your dad?" is so silly but sweet 🥰

Laynie seems so sweet and fun! And also shout-out to that interpreter for conveying her expressions and emphasis and pace through speech so well

As a 47 year old hearing son of deaf parents I can relate to deaf people and sign a lot, and I just love this family, and Laynie is just awesome. I am 100% sure you'll get lots of friends. Thank you for a great interview.

Keep learning MOM! Don't be a statistic. Don't let her age discourage you or make you think it's too late. It's never too late!

I also have charge syndrome. I was waiting for the day this channel had a kid with charge. It’s fascinating to see others with charge and what range of disabilities they have. I’m both hearing and visually impaired. As well as others. I’m fortunate that my heart is normal. I’m glad laynie seems to be doing well with her challenges

I recently met a girl on the boardwalk at the beach resort I live at that was deaf and she taught me all kinds of sign language words. We had so much fun together. Her her parents and I went to play ski ball together and won a bunch of tickets that she cashed in for a stuffed animal. She signed I love you to me at the end of our time together promising to stay in touch through her family Facebook. I hope every year she comes to visit on vacation I will have learned more sign so we can talk to each other easier ❤

Laynie seems extremely clever and observant. I wish her only the best for her future! Hoping her family can make a collective effort to learn asl! I can imagine it must be quite isolating if you have this sort of language barrier at home.

I think ASL is by far the most beautiful and expressive language! I had a deaf aunt and uncle and also took ASL classes so I know quite a bit, but I'm better at signing than receiving... I don't have enough practice talking to deaf people on a regular basis, so I am s-----l-----o-----w at reading signs! Good for the parents for recognizing it is essential they learn to sign because Laney cannot learn to hear, and communication is literally everything! There are lots of video resources online now to learn and hone your sign language skills, do a little every day and it adds up quickly! I hope Laney gets to regularly socialize with other deaf kids, it is so important for her mental and social development! So nice to meet you Laney, you are adorable and smart! The ONLY thing Deaf people can't do is hear, you will go as far as you want to! Hugs!!! ❤🧡💚🤎🤍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

I love how respectful Chris always is, not just switch the conversation to her mother like she isn't there but ask Laynie first if it's ok to talk about her. And Laynie, you are a beautiful smart girl, well done in the interview!

When my sister and I were in junior high we had a deaf friend. She was beautiful, intelligent and funny. She could speak but was if could be difficult to understand her speech. This was before computers or smart phones so sometimes she had to write a word, phrsse or sentence if we didn't understand her. She was beautiful and brave, she grew up to be a very successful career woman with a hearing husband and 2 children. It's amazing how she was able to do so well way back in the late 1960s when there was so much less adaptive tech available and it was remarkable that she went to regular public school and was not sent to a school for the deaf. When we hung out her inability to hear was much less of a problem than than you'd suspect, she was just one of the gang, fit right in. I don't think any of us ever thought of her as disabled. Obviously her parents had done an excellent job parenting her. She was really great at reading lips and not shy to give us her sign and noise for what?? If she didn't understand something. I'm really glad that she was mainstresmed and not sent off to a school for the deaf where we'd not have had the opportunity to have her as a friend. I think her going to school with children that coukd hear helped her do really well in a hearing world. My sister and I still say some of the things that became her catch phrases way back when we were friends. We live on the other side of the country and have for decades, my sister is friends with her on Facebook now. Anyway, this young lady can be anything she wants and I suspect as she gets older she'll realize it's possible to have friends that don't sign, she can chat with friends online or in person via their phones or tablets..

I really appreciate that you ask the kids permission to ask their parents questions. It's so important for everyone to have agency, and I know personally (as a Child of Deaf Adults and disabled person myself) that people who are d/Deaf, disabled, etc. are often spoken over. Especially a problem when interpreters are present, and they talk to the interpreter, or with family present, when they don't let the disabled or d/Deaf person express themselves.

If the family really wants to be more versed in sign language I think it may be helpful to throw themselves on the deep end and schedule a two week silent staycation where there's no talking or even typing allowed . I bet that necessity could really help speed up the learning process !
